Target Market Coach GPT

Marketers, entrepreneurs, and students all face the same challenge: Who should we target?

Choosing the right target market is one of the most important strategic decisions you’ll make. Get it wrong, and even the best product or campaign can flop. Get it right, and everything in your marketing mix can align with customer needs and wants to capture market demand.

This custom GPT acts as your coach to guide you step by step through the process of segmentation, targeting, and positioning (STP)—a core marketing framework taught in Principles of Marketing and used by top brands worldwide. But even top brands, like Gatorade in the 2000s, can fall into the trap of selecting the wrong target market, or target markets that are too broad or too vague.

Whether you’re a marketing, design, advertising, public relations, or strategic communications professionalprofessor, or student, learn by doing, putting definitions and concepts into action. The Target Market Coach GPT helps you avoid pitfalls by asking questions and helping you think critically about your market.

The Target Market Coach GPT isn’t designed to replace your thinking—it’s designed to strengthen it. As the human expert (current professional or student in training), you’re central to the target market selection and analysis process. Leverage your expertise and research to bring an empathic human-centered perspective to potential market segments – groups of people with real needs, wants (what’s), and motivations (why’s).

Don’t AI yourself out of a job; use AI tools to empower your knowledge, expertise, and insights, not replace them.
